April 13, 2000 - 9:50 AMHello World! As of yesterday afternoon, I'm again using a different computer than I was before. As you may recall, exactly a month ago I handed in my laptop for repair at the computer store, still expecting it would only take two weeks for me to get it back. Yesterday I called the factory, and they told me they had only received the machine from the computer store a week ago. Combined with the usual factory repair time of three weeks, that means I'll probably still be without my laptop for the next month or so. As the friend whose computer I was hiring for the past month wanted it back by now, I'm now hiring someone else's computer, which I will be able to continue to use for the next month or so, after I've again transferred all my files to it. I did notice one side benefit, though, as the computer actually contains a DVD player, meaning I'm finally able to play the Original Series DVD I've owned since Christmas... I might put up a review of it at the Trek Nation later this week. Trek BBS Today Below are some of the topics currently being discussed at the Trek BBS:

It seems clear that most of the fans at least hate the 29th Century villain idea - personally I would love to see a 'Birth of the Federation' series, but I'm also not that enthusiastic about the time travel plot. Of course, Series V is still being developed, so Berman & Braga might still change all this.
Anyway, please also participate in our new poll, asking if you've ever read any of Peter David's 'New Frontier' novels.
